kyburgIt's so fucking August.
The joys of working for a small company include - well - some really off the wall reasons people stop working for them. I can say that, right?
Such as 'so and so was really unhappy with everyone and when the order came down to reduce headcount by one, he was the one chosen...and he knew it was coming months ago.'
Well, I didn't know. And if you aren't aware, when people leave the company? In my book, you might as well have lined them up and shot them because I'll never see them again.
No, I didn't get to say goodbye. And again, I might be the only one to miss the poor guy - and he's likely ecstatic from all reports.
I'd be a fool not to be relieved. At the same time, I'm more than a little sad. This was the guy it was going to be mission critical to successfully work with when I started...and he's the one out the door instead.
I'm inheriting his spot on the safety committee. They should all fear.
Does anyone have room for a really sweet Cocker Spaniel down on his luck? I'd seriously consider this one for myself, except for the fact we are 1) Full UP and 2) Do not have a new dog safe environment due to underage child. (No, I would not introduce a new animal into this house for at least three years. Watch me be very firm on this one.)
If you saw this regarding the CEO of Whole Foods yesterday, perhaps you could stroll over to that over at the LA Times for some pushback. Delicious, all of it.
I need to make some calls. Starting tonight, I am scheduled for every waking hour until Sunday afternoon at 4:30 PM. Really really.
Anyone coming out for Nisei Week this weekend? See you there. Coming out next weekend? We can talk!
